Canon R10 vs Panasonic GF2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by researching technical specs. The pic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and GF2.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R10 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon R10 will render more detail with its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger R10 provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
